Public Housing Fire Safety Act

Summary:
The legislation creates a grant program for public housing agencies to install automatic sprinkler systems in certain public housing projects.
Background:
  • In buildings with sprinkler systems the death rate per fire can be substantially reduced and the property damage decreased.
  • The widespread adoption of fire sprinklers in the last 40 years is one of the elements that has led to a reduction in fire deaths in the U.S.
  • The risk of death to firefighters is nearly eliminated in a fully sprinklered structure and the injury rate is lowered.
Status:
The bills have been reintroduced (H.R.5064/S.2600)
